2. Legal Nurse Consultants out there?

   bklynbaby replied to diana13122's topic in Legal

   Yes you have to be a RN to be a LNC. And you should definitely get atleast 2-5 years nursing experience before actively trying to pursue LNC. Most times I have seen ads for LNCs that asks for ICU, OR or ED experience. Although I am sure that those t...

   Hi I was in the past considering private pay home care as a business. Here are some marketing ideas, I had came up with. 1. Go to physician offices, particularly geriatricians and spend 10-15 min talking to them about the services that you provide. ...

6. Collaborating physician questions!

   bklynbaby replied to chiromed0's topic in Advanced

   I got my DEA first and did not need a collaborator in order to do so. I'm in NYS so I'm assuming the rules may be different. To my knowledge my DEA number remains the same unless of course I move out of state. I find it odd that you would need a co...

7. So I kind of messed up

   bklynbaby replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

   Its a mistake that can definitely happen to a layperson that is unaware of the ramifications of taking someone else's prescription, let alone one that is a controlled substance. However, I would not call or email to explain. I would withdraw and de...

11. reading EKGs- an advanced privilege?

    bklynbaby replied to NPmimzy75's topic in NP

    Ive never considered reading an EKG a privilege. I read EKGs at my facility. if there is ever a concern for cardiac changes there is always a cardiac fellow on call who can remotely look at an EKG for me. There are also in house medicine consults a...

    bklynbaby replied to tabalou's topic in NP

    She is Nassau County Long Island. If I'm not mistaken that was her first NP job, I don't believe she worked elsewhere as a NP. She did however have home care experience as a RN. If there are a lot of postings in your area it may not hurt to apply no...

15. Took her Course in 2004

    bklynbaby replied to mariealiceveronica's topic in Legal

    I am currently taking a LNC course online through the center for legal studies. The main reason is because I've noticed a few LNC job postings in my area NYC/LI that asked for a certificate not certification but a certificate. I had already purchas...
